TOY.

Patented May 25, 1909.

Application filed Marchfi, 1909. Serial No. $81,386.

T all whom it ay concern:

Be it known that I, LYMAN W. Kine, a

citizen of' the United States, residing at.

- and held in the hands of the operator.

The object of the invention 1s to provide a more simplified constructionand assemblage of the parts of the device than heretofore, and at thesame time to provide a mechanically stronger toy of this character,which will be enabled to withstand the rou h usage to which toys of thisclass are usua ly subjected by the juvenile element. I attain theseobjects in the manner as fully described in the following specificationand as more particularly pointed out in the appended claims.

In the accompanying drawings in which like numerals refer to like parts,throughout the several views, Figure 1 is a view taken on' the line 1-1of Fig. 2. l of one of the sides of the toy. Fig. 3 is a plan view ofthe side containing the perforations, and Fig. 4. is a view showing theuse and operation of the improved whistling toy.

' In the embodiment illustrated two cupshaped members 1 and 2 are formedby suitable machinery from flat metal disks, with out-turned peripheralportions 3 3 and flat central port-ions a 4 so that they presentsubstantial flattened hollow spherical segments. I

As illustrated in Fig. 1 of the drawings the peripheral edge )ortions ofthe two members are secured in a utting relation, the type of unionbeing herein shown as formed by bond ing the peripheral edge of member 1over onto the adjacent similar portion of member 2 in which relation itmay be soldered, brazed or otherwise suitably secured.

As depicted inFig. 3 of the drawings ine1n her 2 is formed with twoseries of openings 5 5 preferably arranged at diametrically opposite)oints adjacent the periphery of said mem er, the functions of theseopenings bein to establish communication between the interior of the toyand surrounding atmosphere, whereby when rotary motion is Fig. 2 is aplan view imparted to the toy a whistling sound will be given thereby.For the purpose of securing the cords to the toy, there is a pair ofholders employed,

each being formed of a strand of Wire 6, constituted of a straight bodyportion bent to form a pair of eyes 7, which are in spaced relation toeach other,and are spaced from the respective ends of the body portionof the wire. Each part 4 of the members 1 and 2 is formed with a slot9', which is located at the center of each member and which is of alength slightly in excess of the distance between the eyes 7, andthrough which said eyes project so as to extend on the outer sides ofthe members. By reference to the drawings it will be obvious that due tothe engagement of the ends ol' the wire bodies with the inner faces ofthe members 1 and 2,

outward movement of such bodies is prevented and since in use thepressure on these bodies is continually in an outward direction it willbe evident that they will be held securely in )osition. After the wirecord holders have been related to the members 1 and 2, as abovedescribed, they are secured rigidly thercto by means of solder as at 8in the drawings. Since the solder is arranged to engage or seat on thatportion of the wire body which is between the eyes 7, and to the rear ofthe slot 9, it will be evident that only the eyes 7 are exposed and thewire bodies are securely held in position".

employed, same being passed through the eyes and held in the hands ofthe operator after which the toy body is given a rotary motion to twistor wind the cord as depicted in Fig. 4, \vhercu on the operator moveshis hands successive y toward and away from each other to therebyrapidly revolve the toy body which causes the same to emit a whistlingsound.

Il'aving thus described my invention, I claim new and desire to secureby Lette rs Patent v 1. A toy including a hollow body formed with a sloton each of its opposite sides, a pair of cord holders each composed of abody having a pair of spaced eycswhich latter project through said slotto estend on the outer side faces of the toy body, and a cord -conrwctcdto each pair of eyes.

2. A toy including a hollow body formed of cord holders each composed ofa single wire strand bent to form a pair of s aced eyes, said eyes beingrojected throug said slots, the ends of said wire strand beln engagedwith the inner faces of the hollow body sides at oints beyond the endsof the slots, and 'cord .connectedto the eyes.

3. A toy including a hollow body, having a slot in each ofits oppositesides, a air of cord holderseach composed of a body aving a pair ofspaced eyes which latter extend through said slots, a cord connected toeach pair of eyes, and solder which seats on that part of the cordholders which is exposed through said slots and which fills theunoccupied portions of said slots.

4. A toy including a hollow body having a slot in each of its oppositesides, a pair of 1 cord holders each composed of a wire strand,

having a straight body portion bent to form a- 0 pair of spaced eyesdisposed adjacent the ends of said wire body,'said eyes extendingthrough said slots, the ends of said wire body extending beyond th'eendsof the slots and engaging the inner faces of the hollow body 5 sides,-cords connected to the eyes, and solder which seats on saidv body of thewirc and fills the unoccupiedportions of said'slots.

In testimony whereof 'I have signed my name to this specification in thepresence of 30 two subscribing witnesses.

LYMAN W. KING.
